It works the same as the AZ-1 (MR balance), it measures the same, it develops the same amount of power, it is 55kg heavier though (and that counts when you only have 64hp stock lol) but... it can be bought for 3 to 10 times less lol. Cheapest one go for 2000$ with shaken and taxes included... But it has no gullwing doors...
The lack of findable hardtops (they exist) bugs me though... I like hardtops, not much of a convertible guy myself...
(Notice how the mirror of the bike stands higher than the car itself lol )

Not a convertible guy? Driving with that top-down will actually add an extra awesome dimension to your experience when it handles good (and that Honda will!)???

yeah I know I just don't like it when people stare at me when I drive convertibles... I never took the targa top off of the Corvette the whole time I owned it for exemple lol

The beat, from my short test drive is a much more easier car to drive than the AZ-1, And sounds better too, it's sounds like a mini NSX:
You bought an AZ-1 for it looks, if you want a better car, the Beat.

Apparently the Beat is A LOT slower too.... 0 to 60 in something like 12s, while the AZ-1/Cappuccino do it in 8s.....
And I haven't bought the AZ-1 yet... If I do get one (nothing is decided yet), it will be in 2 to 3 months...

Yeah, because the Beat is NA, not a Turbo like Cappucino and AZ-1.
But the Beat sounds much better than the other two keis.

Just don't stare back and enjoy yourself. F*ck it. The only times I didn't take the top of my Z4 of was when it rained/snowed/long-trips-on-highways-with-80+mph. Even in the winter it's awesome (and then you don't just get the stares but also the negative headshaking)! It's your life/enjoyment, not theirs to condemn.

i don't think anyone look down on me or anything... it's just that people look. I mean, I look when I see a convertible downtown... nothing mean or bad about it, it's just that people naturally stare at you when you drive a convertible... I don't like being looked at (quite a paradox for someone who had a yellow corvette as a daily driver lol)... (neither do I like sunburn haha)

Same boat as you. I doubt I'll ever own a convertible as a regular car or weekend driver.

No gullwing doors either.
